Ahh, the time of full size cars, before the 1970's emission detuning. V-8 engines! Ride in that convertible with a 428 cubic inch 4 barrel 345 horsepower engine. See the Monterey, Montclair, Park Lane, Commuter, and Colony Park in various colors and styles for 1966. Load that 8 track cassette into the dash. Your pretty spokesperson will guide you on the journey. Don't miss the hit song?😉 "Move Ahead With Mercury" sung by our host at the end. This film must have been presented at an auto show, or sales meetings. I'm not sure exactly where this film was originally shown. Quite a sales film. Transferred from 16mm color film , faded, color corrected with Resolve.

As a kid we had a '67(?) Colony Park wagon...😉 BTW - one of the nicest cars I've ever owned, was a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis...

My parents bought their first new car in 1966. They bought a Ford but the dealer also sold Mercury. This takes me back to some very happy memories.

I owned one of those "66 beasts. I bought it in 1970 and kept it for 2 years. 8-10 mpg with gas around .30/gallon doesn't sound too bad, but it was killing me burning 6 gallons a day to get to work. Great car, it floated down the road, but it was too thirsty for my wallet. I traded it in 1972 for a new Corolla with what I called a lawnmower engine in it (1600cc) which got around 35mpg. I felt like I was riding in a shoebox compared to the Mercury, but at least I had some money in my pocket at the end of the week.

You sacrificed styles and comfort for economic reliability nothings wrong with that! And great story thanks for sharing it

@tomlew55 2 месяца назад

@@44magnum73 about a year and a half after I bought the little car, I got t-boned by a 68 Chrysler that ran a stop sign. If my new wife was with me, she would have been killed for sure. The car was totaled, almost split in two. We been married almost 52 years, and I think about that crash from time to time. No kids or grandkids with her, they wouldn't exist. Talk about a lifechanging experience. Wow.

@tomlew55 First car I drove (1981), was a '72 amc gremlin - good gas ⛽️ mileage for the times, easy to drive and roomy for its size 😉

I grew up during the 70s so I remember seeing these cars. Lincoln-Mercury the sign of the Cat. Then the " Ride Engineered" badging above the glove box. This is when Detroit used to build cars WE wanted, remember those days???

And then the cars were different. I have trouble telling one brand from another in todays cars.

@middleclassretiree 5 месяцев назад

Japan convinced everyone the full sized American cars were boats and we needed front wheel drive and today they are the ones still building rear wheel drive cars and the closest we Americans come is trucks and SUV’s maybe America should bring back the cars we had 50yrs ago the imports must be laughing at us dumb Americans

@@MoviecraftInc Exactly, ridiculous to say the least. None of these newer " golf carts" will be around or even collectible. Case in point just bought a 1976 Mercury Grand Monarch Ghia , triple red with the 351W 4 Venturi and factory duel exhaust!! The guy I bought it from was the original owner and the 351 with duel exhausts he told me was the " performance " option on these. I'm was shocked Mercury even had that option available on really what is a " super brougham " Granada this Mercury is. Great ride on that car and cabin is tomblike. Color keyed caps , every bell and whistle . Got lucky with only 39k original on the clock. Real lucky. Thanx, great channel and please keep'em coming

@kirbywaite1586 Год назад

It's odd they would eliminate the " power dome" hood for 1966. It was soon seen on nearly every make. The cornering lights always puzzled me. When you didn't order them as an option they filled the space with something that resembled an old fashioned ice cube freezer tray.

@davidzdziarek-zl8cu Год назад

I fancy a '66 Colony Park. It must have power brakes and steering, though; you need that to ensure the stopping and handling prowess you endorse in a big, heavy car.

@johneddy908 5 месяцев назад

1966 also saw the introduction of the new Comet; no longer Falcon-based but the larger, Fairlane-based version.

I thought lap belts were around by then; maybe they interfered with the lines. And I don’t recall seeing 8 Trac (?) until 1967. Nice Film thanks for uploading.

@gwenniegirl50 Год назад

Although seat belts were around, they didn’t become legal standard issue until 1968 (in US) and mandatory use began in 1985 when states began passing laws. The adoption was gradual. As of this date, New Hampshire does not require mandatory use of seatbelts.

@middleclassretiree 5 месяцев назад

The 66’s were beautiful in my opinion especially the 2dr hardtop it was a vast improvement over the 65 in the way it blends into the deck lid. I had a 66 parklane 2dr htp with the 428 in the same color as the one in this video if anyone can tell me what that color code is I would appreciate it as it makes the car look even longer and sleeker to me. Besides looking great and having plenty of power they rode great especially with radial tires and gas shocks the shocks flattened out the cornering and eliminating they dive so prevalent on 60’s big cars yet kept that smooth beautiful ride

Evidently the Breezeway's popularity faded much by this year. I recall many '63-64 models extant back in the day.

@kirbywaite1586 Год назад

Surprisingly, the 1967 Mercuries offered a rear window that lowered part way but it slanted the other direction and only lowered part way.

Anyone recall the "step to the rear" commercials.. Lincoln -Mercury ('67 maybe?) Then "the sign of the cat" sucks they were dropped by FoMoCo.
